User Testing
User Testing
Navigation: Toggles lighting up to indicate what page the user
should proceed to is a bit difficult to get used to. Instructions are clear.
Story: Relatable. Users can see themselves in the place of
the protagonist. Very Long. Creepy and disorienting, but the mundane
aspects are too mundane.
Conclusions
The project was moderately successful.The Navigation for the iPod controller has a
learning curve and did seem to increase confusion in the users.
The Story was fairly successful in setting the frame of mind.
Further editing for length will make it easier for the users to engage.
Next Steps
Source a new method of navigating the pieceContinue refining the story lineExpand to offer more story options
